A COVID-denying Tennessee lawmaker who caught COVID and then called on God to perform a “miracle” so that his condition didn’t require a ventilator… is now on a ventilator.
State Rep. David Byrd had previously rejected wearing a mask during legislative sessions, went to in-person social gatherings, and supported a resolution saying the pandemic was “sensationalized” by the “mainstream media.” He’s been in the hospital for over a week now. On Monday, he was placed on the ventilator.
Yay! With luck he takes a few of his caucus members with him!
